Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 255 grams
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups yogurt
  • 1 egg white optional, for brushing
  • Toppings optional: everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or grated cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix to combine.
  • Add the greek yogurt.
  • Mix until it forms a rough dough. It may look a bit shaggy, but don’t worry—it will come together.
  • Lightly knead the dough on a floured surface for 1-2 minutes until smooth and just slightly sticky. Add a small amount of flour if it’s too sticky.

Shape the Bagels

  • Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Make each portion into a smooth ball.
  • Roll each ball into a 8-9” log, then connect the ends to form a bagel shape.

Prepare for Baking

  • Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush the tops with egg white for a shiny, golden finish (optional).
  • Add your favorite toppings, like everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, or shredded parmesan cheese.

Bake

  • Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the bagels are firm and slightly golden.
  • For a chewier texture, broil them for 1-2 minutes at the end (optional).

Cool and Serve:

  • Let the bagels cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Enjoy them plain, toasted, or topped with cream cheese, avocado, or a protein-rich spread!

Notes

Yogurt: You can use full fat, nonfat, or 2% yogurt. Or even cottage cheese. I usually use Fage nonfat yogurt to make this.
Self-rising flour: Instead of using 2 cups all-purpose flour + 3 tsp baking powder + 1/2 tsp salt, you can alternatively use 2 cups of self-rising flour.
